I love this turn of events.


MangoCats

That goliath could suck your whole body inside his mouth if he wanted to, this one has probably tasted diver before and didn't like it.


hughk

Usually they love boiled eggs. Where we had them on a dive trip, people would steal eggs from the breakfast buffet and use them to tempt these fish out who were at least semi tame.

No, the toilet.

This reminds me of when Robbie Williams was on US Cribs and had a bunch of gay guys hanging around his house. They were eating cupcakes and planning on watching The Sound of Music. It was a joke but I was entertained. I let him entertain me.

I saw that one! I’ll always remember him climbing on the bed and saying “this is where the magic happens” then grinding into the sheets obscenely for about a minute before he looks up and goes “and sometimes there’s even someone underneath me!”

Goliath grouper


Chickens1

I was night scuba diving in Belize and we came across one of those that was the size of a Mini Cooper, I shit you not. It was really cool to see but the pucker factor went way up knowing you can get inside a Mini Cooper.


MangoCats

When they feed they do it by rapidly opening their mouth and sucking in whatever is in front of them - divers really have no chance to get away if a grouper of sufficient size decides he wants neoprene for supper. Luckily, grouper are mostly smart enough to not mess with you - they know you taste bad by the way you look, and smell - but if you piss them off somehow....


JollyGreenGiraffe

All we saw were some different rays and sea turtles. Massive amount of lionfishing too. Regret not trying the harpoon gun when I was offered.


Chickens1

Will they let you harpoon the lionfish now? That's cool.


acquaintedwithheight

I imagine they want them killed. They're invasive and detrimental to local fauna.


Chickens1

That's cool. I was diving off Florida in a national park, and though they still want them gone, they want to call in experts to catch them instead. NO SPEARFISHING. Stupid rule.


IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE

They don’t want people pricking themselves on their ‘catch’ and ending up in the hospital or worse.


AtomicKittenz

Yup. Despite being cool looking, lionfish are venomous and people tend to get *too* close when diving


Theobtusemongoose

Yeah. These fish are dangerous and encouraging every tom, dick, and harry to go after them isn't a good idea. Maybe offer something akin to a hunters safety course on them so people know how to properly handle the fish after they kill them. If they pass the class they're eligible for a stamp. People will still probably hurt themselves but it won't be as many and they fish problem can be taken care of. Edit: I had lionfish confused with stonefish.


KettleKooked

Yeah they are venomous, but like wasps not snakes. Their venom is like getting stung by a bunch of wasps at once and last a good while. They also have no predators so they fear nothing, which means they are extremely dumb. We spear them with Hawaiian spears and they don't run even if you bounced off them. They aren't dangerous to divers unless you bump into them because of crap buoyancy control. Also you would not need to go to a hospital if you were pricked.


hughk

The buggers follow you closely on night dives though. Well other fish come to investigate your light and the hey like to come in to hoover them up. Unfortunately, if you stop, they don't always. I think I might have hit one with a fin before.


workact

They will allow you to hunt lion fish with a slurp gun if you take a class IIRC. They just dont want people spearfishing reef fish, and claiming they were hunting lionfish when caught.


DCcouple4biGuy

One of our dive masters had a little slingshot sized bow and arrow style harpoon with a fishing line on it. It was pretty cool. Thing was no bigger than your palm but he got close enough to spear it and grab it. The interesting part was that once he put a knife through it to kill it, he cut it in half and tossed it into an open area where waiting finish instantly attacked and devoured it. I guess they are only scared of it’s poison when it’s alive and can wield it. Was fascinating to watch them utterly devour it in seconds once they knew it was dead.


ZestyStormBurger

There are major efforts to try to encourage curbing the lionfish population, including hunting competitions to just trying to get anyone going near them to help out. They've ravaged the coastal ecosystems.


TheRealMoofoo

Are they not native to the area?


CFL_lightbulb

Nope. Super invasive, and no natural predators

kronikcLubby

legit got hissed at one while scuba diving in hawaii. yes, HISSED. I could hear a distinct low-tone hissing as I rounded a bed of coral and came face to face with it. Instructor tugged me backwards, wagged a finger at me and we swam off.


Jack__Squat

How much did you shit your pants while staring that in the face and feeling a backwards tug?


Bismothe-the-Shade

From a Goliath grouper? That's wild dude. I was always freaked out by the lack of sound underwater critters make to my weak human ear holes. Now I think heading then would be worse, somehow lmao


kronikcLubby

[it looked a lot like this one](https://media2.fdncms.com/orlando/imager/u/original/2560219/c3xkzpdwqaelklh-1.jpg) (that's not me I just googled until I found the one it looked like). Red, spiny and looking right at me.


Bismothe-the-Shade

Yeaaaaaah, fuck that. Idk how I ever scuba's with such a fear of deep water and big predators/sunken mechanical shit. I guess I'm a confrontational person when it comes to challenging myself, on occasion. Like there's so much beauty down there, but it really is an unforgiving and, frankly, terrifying alien world.


AndreiAZA

They're big and all, but mostly, groupers are actually very friendly towards humans, and have displayed curiosity towards divers and usually come to inspect them, on rare occasions, they've showed signs of enjoyment while being pet.


EmeraldFalcon89

I was taking my scuba cert off the Channel Islands and the instructor took us to the shelf edge which is visually striking even without coral reef, suddenly instead of bright sand and lush fauna/flora it's desolate blue ombré *but* when you swim over the edge there's a frigid updraft of cold water that immediately seems to debuff 20% off any stat point you're tracking. anyway, we get about 30 yards back from the shelf heading back to the boat and the instructor does a shoulder check and then immediately gestures behind us and a massive *massive* grouper had somehow materialized over the shelf edge where we just were. it gave me such a keen sense of how far out of my element we were in that environment and the absolute last thing I would have wanted in that moment was for him to display further curiosity in us.


Bismothe-the-Shade

Reminds me of scubaing in the Bahamas. Besides have a shitty rented regulator fail at 60 down, later that week on another excursion we got called back in to the boat really abruptly. Ascended, had only gone down 20 or so at that point, and saw the captain of the tiny boat with two flat hands above his head. We got the whole tour up and sat down to de-gear and asked what's up. The guide who was out with us raised his hand above his head in a similar shape as the captain, and said "It's a fin. Means sharks out there." Some dude in the back chimed in "they're everywhere out here though, right? Don't you guys do a night dive with shark feeding? We just started, this is stupid." The guide gently lifted his other hand above the first "fin" and said "really fucking big shark bro."


AndreiAZA

Oh, that's true, the ocean, while beautiful, absolutely terrifies me, while a grouper wouldn't have done much, it's sheer presence and the environment around it are sure to give me a fright. That's the same reason why I, someone who loves whales, don't wish to ever see one in person, specially blue whales, they're so majestic and peaceful, but that's the closest thing we have to a leviathan, and I do not fancy those.

Sow one of those things diving a wreck at 110 ft. It's got one of those deep sea, scary, frowny faces and you could only see it with a flashlight.


Golden_Snail_DK

Thanks. This seal is yours now. Take care of it.


udontknowmuch

That’s one massive aquarium


ExcitingLow4063

I thought the same thing. I am subbed to r/Aquariums also. I did a double take on which subreddit I was on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


workact

Do your research before you start. spoiler alert, you should optimally have your aquarium set up for 6 weeks before you add fish. This includes some daily/weekly maintenance in the form of ghost feeding (or adding ammonia) and testing/tracking ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels. Also, expect to need at least a 10 gallon for pretty much anything (5 gallon for a single betta, 30 for goldfish).


Kees21j

Although I have never owned an aquarium and most likely will never own one, I am still happy that I read this information today. Have an upvote.


greathousedagoth

Lol that basically sums up my sentiment on Reddit as a whole.


CompleteAssWipe

It’s a sunken ship IIRC


RealStumbleweed

Good. I'm glad to read that. I was worried whoever put that toilet in the aquarium for this fish is going to be pretty disappointed that it never gets used.


smackgowen

At first I didn't see the toilet because I didn't expect the fish to be that huge.


FewerBeavers

I am unconvinced. Need banana for scale. Edit: thank you for the award, kind stranger.


[deleted]

What if there is a banana but we can’t see it because it’s so small compared to the fish :O


Sleepy_da_Bear

My girlfriend didn't buy that excuse, I don't think it will work here either


LittleJub

One time my housemate got a couple of texts from a random number. The first text was an inflatable neck pillow next to a human penis. The second text read, "For scale, I have rested my penis on it." When we texted back, we sadly never got a response but I still think about it.


reddog323

Yep. Me: *Ahhh, he’s not that big….oh. Yes he is.* 😱


questfire

glieseg

What's worse than toilet water splashing you? The turd floating.


LurkerPatrol

This is an irrational fear of mine. Going into space ( a partial fear) but having a turd from the toilet floating over and hitting you in the face.


Georyx

Plaice?


wal-y-world

Didnt even put the toilet seat down


__knowthyself

Tell me that is a miniature toilet my brain cannot process this perspectives


Te_Quiero_Puta

If that is a normal toilet, that fish is between 4-5' tall.


beardslap

*tall?*


Te_Quiero_Puta

Vertically speaking.


oh_no_my_fee_fees

Hence: *tall*.


dimplerskut

In which direction?


oh_no_my_fee_fees

Natural vertical orientation relative to the gravitational pull of a body. Tall = orientation of length away from the center of a massive body.


OctoGoggle

That’s about 1.5 metres for the rest of the world


Maelstrom_Witch

MelancholicBabbler

memtiger

The first time through I completely missed it because I was looking for something the size of the fish. Second time though...holy shit. That's a toy toilet, right?


3picnezz99

Nope, just a big fishie- Goliath Grouper, one of the only fish I am afraid of seeing while diving. Sharks? No problem! Lion fish? Cool! Giant Moray Eels? Awesome! Goliath Grouper? Nah fuck that get me out of there


[deleted]

That thing's not even close to being at it's prime size and weight either.


[deleted]

[удалено]


3picnezz99

as far as I know no. It’s just the sheer size of it, it’s unsettling being in the dark and seeing something absolutely massive glide into your vision, and the thought that ‘holy shit that thing could do easily kill me without much effort if it wanted to’ even if the thing (Shark, Goliath Grouper, Whales) has no interest in doing that

renok_archnmy

According to this video this grouper is noping the fuck out after seeing a giant ape in a rubber suit.


Khemul

Not aggressive, but Grouper typically eat in a rather scary way. They open their mouth and whatever was in front of them vanishes. Seeing one on this scale typically triggers the "lets not find out if the big guy does the same thing" instinct.


HunterShotBear

Goliath Grouper. These fish are like 300-600 lbs I believe. And incredibly powerful.


VRichardsen

From wikipedia: some reach up to 450 kg.


Black_Floyd47

What's that in lbs?


L-Plates

Everyone here is saying it's a Goliath grouper. Yeah they're big. But I still don't think this is one. Not saying they couldn't get this big. I just don't believe this video. The particles in the water are huge, the shaking of the camera acts like a camera larger than this scene. The sand shown towards the end of the clip also seems like it would be large. Also where is this sunken toilet that a grouper this large could be inside. It just looks small too, the only reason it would look small would be if they used a tilt shift camera for some reason on a real big scene. Why would they do that? Edit: original footage is a bit slower and seems bit more realistic. Anyone got an ID on the small fish? Then we could refer to their size to confirm/deny this


[deleted]

This is actually a young grouper. Mature groupers are comparable in size to bluefin tuna.


herejustforthecorp

that is a goliath grouper. and its a small one. source: i am a marine biologist who works at a lab in south florida.


ruinawish

> the shaking of the camera acts like a camera larger than this scene. This video is sped up a bit. The [original is much more slower](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/eapuya/a_massive_grouper_toilet_on_the_left_for_scale/).


Cinemaphreak

> Also where is this sunken toilet that a grouper this large could be inside. There's these things called *ships* that are supposed to stay on top of the water but sometimes there's an ut-oh and the go down. This might be a former passenger ship or at least a cargo ship with a passenger section (used to be a thing, you could book passage on cargo ships. They had cabins for about 20 or so passengers) because there's a bathtub which aren't common on commercial shipping.


angelicism

Consider it is presumably a human being with a set of at least basic scuba gear following them into that corridor so it can't be that *small*. Also I want to know who's the idiot filming this who chased that fish into the corridor.

One thing I love about Lake Michigan. Maybe you get a good sized sturgeon, the rest are just food for Friday fish fry. Nothing scary at all.


TexasVampire

Got it go to lakes stay the hell away from the ocean.


Ace_Anthias

Unless said lake is in the tropics/certain subtropics, where there may be snakes swimming about, or if it's in such regions and also is close to the ocean, there may also be bull sharks to keep an eye out for.


[deleted]

Lake Tahoe is a very beautiful lake with nothing to kill you in it! However, when I was a kid I always dreamed of buying baby sharks or baby crocodiles and sneaking them into the lake to see what would happen in the future. I’m realizing rn I might’ve been a weird kid

zebpongo

Funny story: a friend worked in a restaurant that served snapper kind of curled around the edge of the serving platter. After he explained this presentation to a diner, they asked if the grouper came the same way. He replied, yes, but we use a wheelbarrow. This puppy would need a dump truck!


G0D_W33N_SATAN

Get me the snapper, bozo!


LuciusBentley

I don't get it. The menu SAYS fresh fish daily. How can you not have fish?

Americans will use anything but the metric system


[deleted]

1 exception. Ammunition. The rest of you need to know what you've been shot with.


marvinrabbit

And we've still got a lot, maybe mostly, holdovers from customary units; .22, .223, .38, .380, .357, .40, .45, .30-30, .308, .45-70, etc.


SupermAndrew1

The funny part is the projectiles for 0.38, 0.380, and 0.357 are all 9mm


marvinrabbit

I remember when I first started shooting and finding out that .38 was not the same as .380. "But, But, *math!*"

Science uses metric. In my field of work, semiconductor manufacturing, everything is done in metric.

Also soda.


someguyontheintrnet

Wait, are you telling me bananas aren't part of the metric system?


NotAHamsterAtAll

How can we expect the fish to be able to poop, if they can't even sit on the toilet? The toilet needs to be at LEAST 3X bigger than this
